DETERGENT, BLEAGHING, AND DISINFEGTING COMPOSITION.

No firawing.

To a-ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnancisoo FQCAR- noun, a citizen of the United States of ltlexico, residing in the city of Mexico, Fedoral District, Mexico, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Detergent, Bleaching", and Disinfecting Compositions, of which the following; is a description.

his invention relates to means for cleansing, bleaching; anddisintecting fibrous materials, and more particularly has refer- ,ence to a composition of matter employed in a like amount of water.

for removing dirt, oils and fat from l abrics and materials from which fabrics are made, and also for bleaching and disinfectins; the same.

The object of my invention is to provide a composition which i etlicient for the purpose, simple, and cheap of production.

Therefore, my invention consists in the composition of specified ingredients hereinafter described and claimed.

My composition is composed of a deter gent, a bleach, and a disinfectant which latter, incidentally, also has bleaching properties, and this composition may be in either liquid, powder or paste form.

In the liquid form, the detergent is made of 00 kilograms of water with vegetable, saponaceous matter, and may be produced by directly mixing 17 grams of saponin with the whole amount. of water, or by macerating and steeping 250 grams of quillaia bark in 200 kilograms of water, and 150 grams of xhixhi stalks and leaves The steeping should be done in separate vessels and should continue for approximately live hours. The quillaia and the xhixhi solutions are then mixed together in equal amounts. This produces a saponin water or saponaceous fluid.

I then dissolve ."20 kilograms of any suitable bleachingpowder, such as chlorid of lime, in 200 kilograms of the saponaceous fluid, solution being assisted by agitation. After complete solution, the liquid is strained and placed in another vessel in which it is mixed with 200 kilograms of the sapomn,

kilograms of carbonate ofsodiumfifi kilograms oi' caustic potash, 5 kilogramsof Specification of Letters Patent.

sodium chlorid and kilograms of the above bleaching solution. These ingredients are then agitated until thoroughly mixed and dissolved. The fluid is then allowed to settle and is then skimmed to remove the supernatant matter resulting from impurities of an insoluble nature.

The foregoing saponin fluid and two alkali bleaches are then thoroughly mixed t0- gether and thereafter skimmed to remove impurities. The composition then presents. a whitish color when agitated, becoming quite clear when quiescent, owing to the sett ling of precipitate of carbonate of calcium. This precipitate is formed by the reaction between the carbonate of sodium and the hypochlorite of calcium, which, being insoluble, assists the detergent action of the chemicals by mechanical abrasion of the dirt when the liquid is'swirled around and through the goods, fabrics, or other evolution of hypochlorite of potassium g through the reaction ot the hypochlorite of calcium with the caustic potash, and the presence of finely-divided-soft soap due to saponitication. which takes place between the greasy material, adhering to the goods cleaned, aided by the saponaceous material in the vegetable barks.

A liquid of essentially bleaching qualities which may be used in certain cases by mixture with the foregoing composition is produced by combining 10 kilograms of water, 1 kilogram of chlorid of lime, and 1 kilogram of chlorid of sodium. Complete solution lnd thorough mixture are secured by agitation and the liquid is decanted, strained and kept in vessels well covered so as to protect it from the light.

: A third composition which has disinfectant and bleaching properties, whcn combined with the foregoing compounds, is composed of, one kilogram of commercial sulfuric acid and ten'kilograms of Water.

The mixture is made by'pouring the acid in the water insmall;

quantities at a time in the usual way.

To be mixed with the above detergent, I produc an alkali b each composed of ehlorid of lime, 1 gram; and chlorid of sodium, 1 gram. This composition, when to be used, has added ther to 20 grams of water.

As a. disinfectant, with incidental bleaching qualities, l combine with. 20 grains of water 1 gram of: bi-sulfite.

The alkali detergent and bleach above described may be produced in the form of paste by adding oil of any suitable kind in quantities sullicient to make the same of the cijmsistency oi the ordinary salves.

it will be understood that my detergent in either the liquid, powder, or paste form can be used by itself for the purpose of washing fabrics, or for personal use; and, when either of the detergents is combined with it either of the alkali bleaches, the

powder being first dissolved in 20 grams of water. bleaching and washing may be conducted at the same time: and. when it is desired to also disinfect, the acid bleach may be combined with the alkali bleach and dctergent, as will be readily understood.

Haring thus described my invention, what T claim and desire to secure by Letters latent is:

l. A composition for use in cleaning and bleaching resulting from the mixture of a, detergent comprising a mixture of vegetable saponaceous matter and Water, an alkali bleach and an acid compound resulting in a. substance having disinfectant properties and bleaching properties.

A composition for use in cleaning and bleaching comprising the reaction products of sodium carbonate. caustic soda, sodium chlorid, chlorid of li ne, sodium bisuliite, and xhixhi; combined with an alkali bleach in liquid form, and a composition having disinfectant properties and having incidental bleaching properties.

It. A composition for use in cleaning and bleaching comprising a detergent including a sapouitying-bark derivative. and an alkali bleach containing chemicals which react with an acid, producing hypochlorous acid, chlorinand oxygen.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signature in t 1e presence of two witnesses.
